If you are in the market for another car, you are probably wondering whether it is better financially to buy a new car or a used car. There are a lot of pros and cons to each and it really comes down to the choice that is best for your situation.
If you are looking to finance the car, the rates are much better for new cars. In addition, you will get the latest style, technology and safety features with a new car. Currently, you will get special factory incentives, rebates, discounts and free extra features on a new vehicle. New car warranties cover a lot more than they did just a few years ago and most new cars come with free roadside assistance during the warranty period. The short term maintenance costs are much lower for new cars as well. If you do end up buying a car that develops significant problems, there are lemon laws in most states that will protect you.
